Told for the first time, here are the stories of twelve of Canada's outstanding labour leaders and organizers. Their accounts tell the behind-the-scenes stories of some of the key events in twentieth-century Canadian history: the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike; the 1935 On-to-Ottawa trek of the unemployed, which played a major role in the defeat of Tory Prime Minister R.B. Bennett; the 1945 Ford strike in Windsor, which consolidated the rights of big industrial unions; the 1972 Common Front of Quebec's public sector workers. Gloria Montero travelled across the country to interview the labour leaders whose stories make up this book. We see the Winnipeg General Strike and the trials which followed through the eyes of Bill Pritchard, one of the eight strike leaders arrested and later tried by the government. In Vancouver Bill Walsh gave a first-hand account of riding the rails to Regina with the On-to-Ottawa trekkers. Madeleine Parent tells about organizing Quebec workers in the Forties against the anti-labour regime of Maurice Duplessis. Among other noted labour leaders whose stories are told here there are BC's Homer Stevens, Quebec's Yvon Charbonneau, Ontario's Grace Hartman, and the UAW's George Burt. The result is a book alive with people who are usually shadowy figures in the news and in the history books, but who played major roles in Canada's colourful and turbulent labour past. --Publisher's description

[This book] is a study of continuity and change in the lives of skilled workers in Hamilton, Ontario, during a period of economic transformation. Bryan D. Palmer shows how the disruptive influence of devel oping industrial capitalism was counterbalanced by the stabilizing effect of the associational life of the workingman, ranging from the fraternal order and the mechanics' institute to the baseball diamond and the "rough music" of the charivari. On the basis of this social and cultural solidarity, Hamilton's craftsmen fought for and achieved a measure of autonomy on the shop-floor through the practice of workers' control. Working-class thought proved equally adaptable, moving away from the producer ideology and its manufacturer-mechanic alliance toward a recognition of class polarization. Making ample use of contemporary evidence in newspapers, labour journals, and unpublished correspondence, the author discusses such major developments in the class conflict as the nine-hour movement of 1872, the dramatic emergence of the Knights of Labor, and the beginnings of craft unionism after 1890. He finds that the concept of a labour aristocracy has litlle meaning in Hamilton, where skilled workers were the culling edge of the working-class movement, involved in issues which directly related to the experience of their less-skilled brethren. More remarkable than the final attainment of capitalist control of the work place, he concludes, are the long-continued resistance of the Hamilton workers and their success in retaining much of their power in the pre-World War I years. --Publisher's description

The objective of this essay is to establish and clarify the dimensions, the character, and the significance of the remarkable labour movement that developed in western Canada in the closing decades of the nineteenth century and flourished during the great boom of the early twentieth century. Within this general purpose are some particular ones: to demonstrate the rapidity of the numerical growth of unionism in the West, to suggest some reasons for it, and to show why western unionists were far more radical and militant than eastern ones. --Introduction

This study demonstrates the application of a test validation procedure similar to that described by Mobley and Ramsay (1973) but which avoids the use of factor analysis in isolating dimensions upon which subsequent job subgrouping is based. Instead, a semi-judgmental, semi-statistical method was employed. Actual test validation data are reported which, although missing in Mobley and Ramsay's (1973) article, attest to the utility of a job grouping approach to the validation problem.

This paper compares the attitudes to collective bargaining of a sample of Ontario and Wisconsin registered nurses. Contrary to expectations (in view of the general low rate of American nursing unionism), the Wisconsin nurses who where surveyed viewed collective bargaining at least as favourably as their Ontario counterparts.

The primary objective of this survey is therefore to collect enough data to in order that comparisons of absenteeism and labour turnover can be made within various regions and industries in Ontario. The study also provides general information on the extent, nature and relative importance of various human problems.
